I'm sorry that you seemed to not have a good experience with public schools, but please don't damn them all because of that. No, they aren't perfect, and they never will be. Anything that deals with people will never be a perfect system. There are plenty of schools and teachers doing a great job. We are held accountable regularly, let me assure you of that (I have *three* degrees in my subject area, and still had to go take more tests - that I passed with perfect scores.) We are *not* one-size-fits all factories - at least at my school we are not. I could go on and on, but I won't. I have found that most people have their minds made up whether or not they've actually done the research and explored the schools. Arlington County's schools speak for themselves.
